China considers EU tariffs unreasonable and unfair

China's Ministry of Commerce calls on the EU to withdraw its decision to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of hot rolled steel coils. The ministry announced its intention to take "necessary measures" to protect the interests of Chinese companies. China criticized the EC's actions as unfair and based only on speculation and accusation.

China calls on the European Union to fully apply the provisions of the WTO treaties and stop using the “surrogate country” procedure, and treat Chinese companies fairly and without discrimination. The Chinese demanded that customs duties be lifted as soon as possible, so as not to cause "serious damage" to the interests of Chinese companies. According to the report, China will take "necessary measures" to protect its interests.
